As for the Taakoons got your PM just haven't had time to write up a response. They are a great tool if you like a refined swing with good head weight. I had the chance to replace my first set of taaks, I replaced them with another set of taaks... take that for what it's worth.

If you're in Calgary, Nick's Steakhouse and Pizza on Crowchild Tr. NW is where a bunch of us meet for a pint Wednesday evenings.
